实相不一定是你真正想要的|Real Appearance May Not Be What You Want

做为修行人来说希求实相是最终极的期望，可我们根本不知道那意味着什么。虽然我们心里在发着愿，回向着终有一日成佛，可我们不明白，佛、证悟将意味着自我的彻底瓦解。我们终日追求的安稳、妥当、依附都会瓦解。我们习惯了抓取，习惯了寻求安全感，这都是通往实相的障碍。实相远离一切你熟悉的状态。而见到实相唯一的办法，就是不断地让我们从一个又一个安全或不安全的地带跳出，在这个过程中甚至可能会摔倒。但只要跳出一个圈，就代表你又得到了更多的自由，最终无所依恃时就会见到实相。反之，如果你想要安稳、安全，在某处寻求一个基础，那你就不是在寻求实相、寻求佛法。它就会成为你的束缚。如果你想要真正理解实相，就不会只是满足于痛苦的止息。

所以，修行是为了什么，我们苦苦寻求的实相、佛果到底意味着什么，这个一定要明白，也应该发愿要有勇气，有福报去不断的靠近。今天是莲师荟供日，祈祷莲师加持我等一切众生能具足无所依恃、无挂碍、无恐惧的自在、福报、智慧与勇气。

Real Appearance May Not Be What You Want

As practitioners, we pursue real appearance as our ultimate goal, however, we don’t even know what it means. Though we make vows to become Buddhas one day, we don’t understand ‘Buddha’, ‘realization’ mean the complete breakdown of self, and things we pursue all day as well, such as stability, appropriateness and adherence. We have got used to grabbing, looking for a sense of safety, all of which are obstacles to reach real appearance. Real appearance is far away from your familiar state of being. The only way to it is to continuously force ourselves to jump out safe or unsafe zones one after another, even though we may fail down in this jumping process. But as long as you jump out of a zone, you have more freedom, and eventually, when you adhere to nothing, you find real appearance. Otherwise, if you want stability, safety, or some place as a basis, you are not looking from real appearance and Dharma. They will become your constraint. And if you want to understand real appearance to the

core, you should not get content with merely reducing suffering.

Therefore, what is practice for? What is real appearance and Buddhahood that we try to find hardly? We should know now and take vows to have courage and merits to get close to it. It is the Tsog’s Day of Padmasambhava today and we should pray to have his blessing on all sentient beings to obtain freedom from adherence, hindrance and fear, karmic rewards, wisdom and courage.
